SIUE scored the lone run of the game, a home run to left field in the fourth inning by Lauren Zembruski.

Freshman Crystal Koehler, who pitched her first complete game of the season, gave the Tritons another solid effort on the mound in second game, allowing just one run on four hits.

SIUE’s Mallory Ruggles hit a groundball up the middle in the sixth inning to score Nicole Beecher, who reached on a double to deep centerfield to lead off the inning that broke a scoreless game.
